    But, 7 days after the last of these died, we had a new batch ........ Of around 300-400 :rolleyespink:

    So, we are now on day 8 of this newest batch, and we still have around 40-50 left.

    Here are a couple of pics :-

    I really cannot take any credit for the raising of these, as I just haven't had the time, but Donna has been tirelessly been looking after them and cultivation their food as well, rotifers and baby brine shrimp.

    If our estimates are correct, we could be in for another batch of babies in around 6 days time :scratch: , because during their breeding season, Seahorses can drop nearly every 2 weeks. The only problem is .... It is sooooo time consuming :)

    They obviously have so many because of the lack of survival I assume?
